Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Line-ups confirmed for Champions League clash

Real Madrid face Manchester City once again in the Champions League in what is set to be a fiery tie between the two heavyweights.

City have already beaten Los Blancos in the competition this season, and will fancy their chances of doing it again in the knockout phase.

Madrid have been far from their best in a turbulent campaign under both Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa in 2025-26, but always back themselves in Europe.

That will be despite missing both Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, who are still sidelined with injury.
